    the series surprised me too much, and always with the passing of the episodes it gets even better! All the characters are well, not bad as some speak and the story is very interesting!

I think the major problem with is the fact that by episode three we haven't really had a glimpse of who is the bad guy, the big bad of the season, but that is just eclipsed by the DC Energy that the show have.… Expand

    Visually impressive and the introduction of these characters is done in a way that compels immersion. Darker than the usual superhero tale the questionable nature of the main characters enhances interest.The acting is believable and the story, well lets see what happens but I'm looking forward to new episodes.

    This is a great show, it cannnot be judged until it is seen. To all DC fans out there (and especially Teen Titans fans), I tell you with all my heart, watch this show ! You will not be dissapointed, just be patient and see all episodes. The so called problems are 3, from what I've seen, for the frustrated fans. They are unfounded and really absurd if you ask me.

You will not be dissapointed, just be patient and see all episodes. The so called problems are 3, from what I've seen, for the frustrated fans. They are unfounded and really absurd if you ask me. (1) The Starfire casting criticism is nothing more than pure racism, Diop is tremendous in her acting like all the cast, plus the fact that Starfire IS of color ALSO IN THE COMICS, just that she has more of an orange-brown skin color (like she had on Teen Titans), and I know that you all loved, like I have, that version, but that doesn't mean it's a disaster for the show that this version has one shade darker skin, as you critics fanatically keep saying. IT IS ,AFTER ALL, A DIFFERENT VERSION of the character, as all characters are, that's why the show is called in the first place TITANS AND NOT Teen Titans. Don't be rigid, narrow minded, and much less so racist, folks. (2) The costumes are lame phrase is totally absurd to support, the hero costumes are as they are, as they were made SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS SERIES. Here the critis again complained about Starfire's easy woman outfit, but damn, it's only the 1st season so far ant there is so much time for improvement. The outfit, and general appearance, she had was, again, SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS FIRST and as early as can be season that had it's own specific CONTEXT AND CIRCUMSTANCES. The suits were very good, really, and let's say they maybe you still think they were lame, BUT ARE the suits of Marvel's hero series better IN COMPARISON ?? Really don't think so, such an affirmation, that they are, IS WHAT CAN BE CALLED LAME. (3) The fact that Cyborg is not included in the Titans team is the last ignorant claim by the critics. The series is presenting in the 1st season precisely that the team is getting step by step formed as the heroes get together, WITH CYBORG BEING by Doom Patrol's side IN THAT CONTEXT AND CIRCUMSTANCE. AGAIN, it doesn't mean that in the cartoon series (and comics) he was from the start with the Titans, that now it had to be the same, with no new perspective, being another version of the hero, with a very different take on him. Not to mention that, on the contrary, it's more interesting to see his hero origin, character development and evolution in time. HE, MORE THAN PROBABLY, WILL JOIN the TItans in the future, sometime in the upcoming seasons, and quit the Doom Patrol. So that wraps it up. TITANS IS GREAT ! TITANS MADE TEEN TITANS GREAT AGAIN !!… Expand

    I love how daring this show is! It perfectly shows that DC can still handle the gritty and dull nature of their universe. I also like how different this is to the cartoon shows, it's much more serious in tone with a bit of humor mixed in.

    So far, This is the best Live-Action TV adaptation of DC Show. This show name doesn't have "Teen" in its title. So stop complaining about our childhood show and start to realize that this show more revolving about like DCEU world. In future, We will definitely see Tim Drake in this show/ DC Universe. So wait for it and enjoy the whole wide DC universe.

    it's a good start, this first episode is very introductory, don't even scratch the main plot of the show, just introduce some main characters, raven and mostly kory (besides of the bad characterization) were fine af, dick was dope too (that alley scene was sooo nice), and gar barely appeared but already make me laugh, i'm sooooo excited to see what the rest of the season is bringing to us

    Better than most of the cw shows. In please ignore the comic book purist and the people who are afraid of a dark storyline because the mcu told them to. Just enjoy it for what it is or hate it for what it is, just don't expect for it to be the teen Titans cartoon. Because it isn't, it was never advertise as so.

    Titans is a great series in which each episode overcome our expectations, the violence is fairly balanced, and the humor is not exaggerated. Titans know what kind of series she is and is not ashamed of it. I can not believe that I criticized this much series before its release.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I began watching this show as my plan of watching every single superhero show on Netflix, and this was the one I started with. And it was good enough to make me carry on with it.

    The starting of the show was brilliant. I finally got to see the origin stories of all the characters of the cartoon I used to watch as a kid. And today all of it started to make sense. I do have a problem with the fact that their age difference looks too drastic, and Starfire and Beast Boy look nothing like the cartoon, but I chose to ignore those details. I was more interested in seeing the action. But the action soon finishes and focuses more on the character development. Initially I was a bit pissed, especially at the part where Dick burns his suit. But later I start taking interest in how their lives start playing out in their conflicts.

    Every character in this show is likeable, whether it's a staple character like Raven or a complete newcomer like Superboy. After all, this show, unlike most other gritty superhero shows made nowadays, is driven more by character development than action. And this is one place this show absolutely nails.    … Expand

    Maybe has potential, particullarly for a fomer wonder boy whom is not a Mr. Nice Guy; forget all you know about Burt Ward or Chris O`Donnell. The meeting for potential superheroes looks promising. The shivering endiong develops expectations of what shall to wait.

    I was pretty sure it would be mediocre based on the early trailers but it turned out to be surprisingly great.

    I'm really enjoying this show so far. Love the fact that it's a nice combination of grit and comic book fantasy .
    It's quite mature with some nice ultraviolence especially fro Robin who isn't just a joky sidekick but his own version of a young batman.
    The actor seems too young to be 30ish but he does a good job.

    Titans is a superhero hybrid -- a live-action series that essentially weds the CW's DC Comics-inspired fare with the gritty, premium-cable approach of Marvel's Netflix dramas. That's not a bad formula, and it yields an entertaining, heavily serialized show.

    The superhero Sturm und Drang and personal melodrama that Titans offers is attractively packaged and reasonably entertaining in the early episodes. ... If you’re partial to the more serious end of the comic-book spectrum, you may already be watching “Black Lightning” on CW, “Jessica Jones” and a few others on Netflix, “Legion” on FX, “The Runaways” on Hulu and “Gotham” on Fox. “Titans” may deserve to join the list, but it’s a big ask.

    Thwaites doesn’t have anything near the gravitas required to pull off this self-righteously vicious approach. If you’re going to say “Fuck Batman,” that’s your right. But you’d better back it up with more than what Titans has to offer, or you just seem like a frustrated poseur who wants to seem much tougher and cooler than you can ever hope to be.
